The revisions are intended to add clarity to the policy, specifically around what is automatically sanctioned without application, and what requires application for sanctioning. The revision also includes the basis for determining whether or not sanctioning is granted.

Th purpose of this new policy is to ensure all participants have access to programming and facilities in which they feel comfortable and safe. It is also to align Ringette Alberta policy with the Alberta Human Rights Act.

Additional guidelines for implementation will be made available to members when the final policy is released.
